Why call a crime scene cleanup company? Can’t I just clean it up myself?
Although not mandatory for a residential cleanup, it is recommended by the CDC to call a crime
scene cleanup company. When using a professional cleanup company, you can be assured that all
infectious diseases will be removed ensuring your home is decontaminated and is no longer a
health risk.
Why call a crime scene cleanup company? Can’t I just clean it up myself?
Federal regulation 29CFR1910 enforced by OSHA states that no employee can be placed in a
position to be exposed to biohazardous waste without the following conditions:
- Employee must receive blood borne pathogen training.
- Employee must have knowledge of a written blood borne pathogen exposure control
plan. - Employee must be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE.)
- Employee must be offered the Hepatitis B vaccine and an exposure evaluation with
follow up. - Employee must be provided with a method of properly removing biohazardous waste in
marked containers at an approved disposal site.
Only after the above five steps have been taken can an employee be required by their employer to
clean a biohazardous waste scene. If an untrained employee cleans a biohazardous scene, OSHA
can impose fines of up to $25,000 per employee exposed.
How is the cleanup of a trauma scene paid for?
In most cases, homeowner’s or business insurance will cover all expenses, minus any deductible, to
cleanup a trauma scene. Our insurance experts file all necessary paperwork and provide all
documentation to assist the insurance company with the process of all claims.
